It's all good, Mark. You are more of a match-up student than I am, so I shouldn't have underestimated your knowledge in that area of handicapping. Excellent local example. Those 7.5F races at Gulfstream are the pits because they really are traveling closer to or over a mile. I read somewhere that Equibase only reports the run-up as such because their computer doesn't go higher than that by default. It was reported a couple of years ago in an Andy Beyer article (?) that it was closer to 330 feet, or a 1/16th of a mile. So yeah, those races are askew.
